BEYOND
start . . .
Beyond all life’s craziness, pains and hardships, it will be worth it all . . .
Beyond my messy house, unfinished projects, the leak under the kitchen sink . . . it won’t matter . . . it will be worth it all . . .
Beyond broken friendships, misunderstandings never understood, and loneliness, it will be worth it all . . .
Beyond dreams that never came true, places never visited, or too many goals not met, it really will be worth it all . . .
Beyond our most precious moments, the delights of my children, and the many dreams and joys that did come true, it will be even more worth it all when . . .
Beyond the heartache of burying two children, a child with heart defects with three open heart surgeries behind her, and many nights of grief, joy does come again in the morning and it will be worth it all . . .
Beyond those that failed us,
Beyond our failures,
Beyond our own disappointments:
It will be worth it all when we see Jesus,
Life’s trials will seem so small when we see Christ;
One glimpse of His dear face all sorrow will erase,
So bravely run the race till we see Christ.
It’s beyond my comprehension to imagine!

Amen. Just amen.
It is a testament of your foresight and God’s working of grace in you and through you to be able to say, “it is worth it,” in the face of tragedy and loss and the weariness that this life can bring. To keep our eyes fixed on the beyond, when all will be made whole and right and new. Thanks for sharing your 5 minutes. Blessed by your words.
You’re a blessing. Beyond your own imagining.
Oh, it is SOOOO worth it!

Amen. It is worth it!
Oh Loni, it’s so good to look beyond today into the future God has planned for each one of us.

He is worth every bit of heartache and pain that I endure if it draws me closer to Him!
